Spinocerebellar Degeneration Disease (SCA type 2 / spinocerebellar ataxia type 2)

In a human brain, 14 billions of neurons (any of the impulse-conducting cells that constitute the brain, spinal column, and nerves consisting of a nucleated cell body with one or more dendrites and a single axon; also called nerve cell.) and 10 times of that amount
of cells, which are instructing the neuron, exist.
Those neurons are divided into ventral nerves and peripheral nerves
and the central nerves are divided again into :
cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, brain stem and spinal cord.
Among them, those which work for the body to move smoothly and freely
are cerebellum, brain stem and the spinal cord.

~Spinocerebellar Atrophy…the neurons inside are starting to lose. …no one has made it to full recovery (cure has not been found).

*compare it to the normal brain…

…the cerebellum is astrophying.
…the illness is, for some reason, causing the cerebellum to
atrophy, and because of that, the neurons inside are starting to
lose.

…in other words, ..it "starting to be broken".

At first, there is no subjective symptoms, but you then can see the unsteadiness when she’s walking, often stumble.

can’t measure the distance.

Or maybe, can’t write well (rumpled handwriting).

…and cannot speak properly (difficulties in speaking) … The symptom is slow, but surely progressing. Cure has not been found.
